Nomadic Inuit elder on what it's like to live off the land 

Living in different spots...as he did with his parents...based on the seasons, hunting, etc is TOTALLY NOMADIC.

@@bravo2zeroCAN Nomadic living is not staying in the same place twice. Thus the name nomadic. nomadic: Wandering; roving; leading the life of a nomad: specifically applied to pastoral tribes that have *no fixed abode* , but wander about from place to place according to the state of the pasturage.

@@randomguy-statusunbanned9732 That's simply NOT true. And, your definition is ridiculously narrow and self-serving. And, your definition is about "pastoral people", ie/ herdsmen, shepherds, etc. Inuit are not a pastoral people, although it could be said that they live in a pastoral setting, ie/ the countryside. And being "pastoral" is not necessary to the definition of "nomad". He and his family moved from place to place, seasonally and within a well-defined territory. According to sources like Merriam-Webster, that is "nomadic". Do you think they had a "fixed address" like you and I do, when he and his parents were living near Kugluktuk?

@@bravo2zeroCAN You're arguing about the dictionary definition not being true.... Historically they are Nomadic people, but not anymore. My ancestors who lived in this land before it was settled were nomadic tribes people. We had furs that we used to put over top wooden framework in tent like shapes and it would be taken down, and packed up before moving to a new location, following the animals that lived off the pastoral land that provided them with enough nourishment before the herd had to move to a different pastor to feed. You can argue with the wind about definitions but it won't change the definition. The definition has been around thousands of years, mean while you have been around a few decades tops. If I'm wrong about you being older than 2 decades, I beg your pardon, but you should know how to read a dictionary past 20 years old by now.

@@randomguy-statusunbanned9732 LOL! It's amusing to me that you deleted the part of your post calling me names. So, here you go: Cambridge English Dictionary: "a member of a group of people who move from one place to another rather than living in one place all of the time"; Collins English Dictionary: "A nomad is a member of a group of people who travel from place to place rather than living in one place all the time."; MacMillan Dictionary: "someone who belongs to a group of people who move from place to place in order to find food and water for their animals or themselves."; Brittanica: "A nomad is a person who moves from place to place. Long ago, before the development of farming and cities, many people were nomads. They moved from one area to another in search of food for themselves or for their animals. The number of nomads has decreased over the years. However, some people still have a nomadic lifestyle. There are three general types of nomads: hunters and gatherers, pastoral nomads (animal herders), and craftsmen-handymen-traders."
